Come on, Kathy ... a little more enthusiasm would be nice.

Apparently, someone is just a bit put off about having to pass on the bad news.

FUNNIER AND FUNNIER: Josh Marshall points out that, while Haggard's successor sent out an e-mail describing that Haggard did, in fact, confess to some of the charges against him, the original accuser against Haggard failed a lie-detector test on talk radio this morning.

Man, I'm betting that successor guy wants a do-over.THIS IS ALMOST UNFAIR. I was going to ask how long it would take for a Blogging Tory to use the lie-detector failure to try to dismiss this entire outrageous scandal. But that would be cheating since, hey, it's already started.

I know ... let's check back tomorrow after it's become screamingly obvious that Haggard is a sex-obsesseddrug addict, then see if Jonathan has the stones to post a retraction. Won't that be fun? Yes ... yes, it will.

Confessions are admissable in a court of law, while lie detector results are not.

Lie detectors are machines that don't measure truth or falsehood, they measure physical reactions and are interpreted by varying levels of practitioners. This is why they're used outside the legal system, ie: 'private' security, as a matter of intimidation.

Anyone who voluntarily submits to such a device has not been advised well. If the accusor has the, so far alleged, recorded evidence of contact with Haggard, that trumps any lie detection test, as does any witnessed confession by Haggard.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard admitted Friday he bought methamphetamine and received a massage from a gay prostitute who claims he was paid for drug-fueled trysts by the former head of the National Association of Evangelicals.

He bought the meth, he got a massage from a rent-boy, but other than that, he's a saint.

Jesus said that those without sin should throw the first stone, so if that's you... go for it.

I've never taken crystal meth and have never sollicited a prostitute. Also, I don't moralise endlessly about people who do those kinds of things. You make your choices in life, and you deal with the consequences like grown-up.

I don't think everyone would be enjoying this so much if Pastor Ted had not been such a self-righteous prick. He preached against homosexuals and put himself up on his little family values pedestal. He preached that Jesus hates homos. If Pastor Ted is gay, does Jesus hate him? Was this a test of his faith? He failed spectacularly wouldn't you say?Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
